How do Xamarin forms connect to SQL Server ?

[dongtrien]

How do I process the xamarin forms that connect to SQL Server and export data to the listView ? I'm looking for this simple example xamarin forms that connect to SQL Server and display data to the listView. What do I find on google ?

You should not connect Xamarin.Forms directly to SQL Server. Create a Web API that accesses SQL Server, then have your app call the API, parse the JSON response, and bind it to a ListView. This is secure, cross-platform, and standard practice.

You shouldn?t connect Xamarin.Forms directly to SQL Server. Instead, create a Web API that accesses the database, have your app call the API, parse the JSON response, and bind it to a ListView. This is the secure, cross-platform standard approach
